Hi TrainingCoordinator,

You might want to check out www.hrcentral.com. It's a website with a multitude of training resources. It is Australian based, but they do ship internationally.

Also, my website now offers my eBook "The Powerful Strategies to Easily Manage Difficult Participants", which you may find really useful. I also offer a great trainer's newsletter free. Check out my website at Corporate Training Zone

To your training success....

I cannot recommend IAL (International Alliance for Learning) enough.

I'm specifically looking for
1) Associations like ASTD (Corporate Leadership Council,Human Capital Institute, etc.)
2) Noteworthy industry conferences
3) Good blogs
4) Research/Consultants (firms like Bersin or Brandon Hall).

For associations with resources try Trainerbase witle UK/ EU based they have a lot of valuable resources easily accessible.

Industrial conferences - in the UK ITOL, CIPD and Trainerbase all have excellent annual conventions/ conferences
